2 Building Biologists: A Building Biologist is an environmental advocate in the global effort to solve with an holistic approach the problems that arise from modern building and settlement planning methods methods that disregard nature and human culture. It is, after all, the unaware human beings who create environmental problems, and only by understanding and applying natural laws can Building-biologists lead others. A Building-biologist is really a researcher, architect, engineer, and doctor, all in one. Building-biology offers a preventative and healing medicine with profound unifying influence. This is a creative, harmonizing discipline, and calls for dynamic, idealistic people. To work for a better and more sustainable and truly "green" world is an extraordinary, valued, necessary, and satisfying job. The goal is: to regain order and harmony in our surroundings to restore the balance between nature, our buildings, and ourselves to help build bridges for the realization of a world that is ecologically oriented Building-Biology provides a holistic approach to healthy homes and workplaces while always maintaining people, the building's occupants, as its focus. As Building-biologists, we might not be able to change very much the present impersonal ways of building and living, as economically oriented and entrenched as they are. But if we set a sterling example and give good advice, based on Building-biological Principles, we will make a difference. Then we can be satisfied ethically with our performance, having participated in changing things to the better, hoping that destiny will do the rest. Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist Certification (EMRS)* This program will equip you with practical, hands-on experience and real-world solutions for identifying, assessing, and mitigating or eliminating electromagnetic emissions (EMR, EMFs) in homes, schools, offices and commercial buildings. You will also become an expert in prevention, certified to advise homeowners, home buyers, architects, builders, inspectors, and engineers in the methods and practices that create and maintain a minimized presence of electromagnetic fields in homes and commercial buildings. Throughout the program we will concentrate on teaching you the skills needed to make a genuine positive impact in your community and in the world at large. *IBE alumni who are certified BBPs (Building Biology Practitioners) and wish to pursue EMRS certification will receive full credit for all EMRS-required online courses they've already completed, as well as for IBE 101 Natural Healthy Buildings, assuming they completed IBE 101 within the past three years.
